Similarly Income earned by our subsldiary Evttnts For You Ltd was materlally Impacted by our decision not lo organise a Dalry-T8ch event in 2021. Although Ihelr costs were also significantly ieduced, they were not able lo make an operating profll and no funds were available lo gill lo Ihe charity.

The resulting decisions lo mov6 fh& èvenl on-llne and lo critically revièw and r8duce overhead costs meanl that wg were able lo reduce operating costs by £106,561 and maintain some revenue strtsams. Oespile Ihis, the overall result has sllll loft us wlh a deficit on our charitable activities of £158.297. The deficit was partly offset by a gain in lh& value of our investments of £100.794 and as a result our resorves fell by £57,503 10 £837,441 a result which Ih@ Trust88s deem lo be acceptable in the exceptional circumstances of the financial yaar. Our plans lor the current linancial year Includg a positive contribution from Dairy-Tfjch 2022 and this. together wllh a rè$umpllon of other aclivilies, should ensure thal wè arè ablè lo report an operating surplus and rebuild our reserve posllion.

Our poll¢y on Investments remalns to malnlaln a balanced low to medium rlsk portfolio vl&wed as a len year investment approprlate lo our charitable status. That policy has seen the value ol otjr investments reeovar from the market's neoalive rea¢lion lo economic data in 2020 and enables us lo rèport the gain in value as staled abov8. Our Investment policy was levlwed by tho Trust6es durin9 Ihe year. Th6 financial 8talemenls have been prepared on a golng concern basis.
